Another Logo 500 3D Build :P

[itsparks]

I first want to say thanks to bob for making this possible as the instructions are ok, but not the best for some one that has never built a heli. GREAT JOB BOB, i found a few things that have been changed and might be final down the road but all went well, its perfect, now to setup the radio esc and motor.

Link to Pictures below.

Nice work. Have fun.

Just one thing I noticed is the tail blades are reversed. They should turn up into the rotor wash so if they don't, rotate your belt the other direction.

Like this ?

Yeah, that's backwards. They should rotate anti-clockwise from this view.

Ok i can flip the tail blades around, GRR :( this is alot of work to flip the belt around tho :( any suggestions for a easy way ?

You'll have to flip the belt if it's rotating the wrong way. Turn the head by hand and verify that the front blade turns up into the blade wash.

Grips are leading-edge control.

yup turned it by hand clockwize and the tail goes counter clockwize :(

Any tips how to flip the belt around easy way ? Possibly take tail apart i guess.

[jamesotron99]

The easiest way is to pop the main shaft/gears out and flip it over. only one c-clip.

I'll have to borrow a set of C-Clip plyers like i did to put this one on, GRR, thanks for the help guys :P

Pretty sure, i used my finger and spun the main gear and it only spins the blades one way, the other way it just spins and does nothing. All my other little helis spin clockwise.

[jamesotron99]

Mains turn clockwise from above. Tail turns anti-clockwise from starboard.

[itsparks]

OK now im confused, why did you have to go and use that starboard word :P

Ok since im confused, ( rarely happens ) I picked up my titan and spin the head clockwise and the tail turns anti-clockwise, so perhaps the way i have the Logo is setup properly ?


Having the heli nose to the > and looking at the right side with the tale at the back looking at the tail blades, tail goes anit-clockwise, and head goes clockwise, This right ?

[BruceW]

From the picture in post #4, the blades should be reversed from what you currently have so the leading edge will spin up into the rotor wash when the mains are spun clockwise. This means that if your looking at the tail just like in your picture, the tail blades should spin counter-clockwise.

Perfect Thanks :p

If you need to change the balde direction after installing blades properly simply take off the back case and twist the belt other way, just ensure one twist is all that there is and that the rotation is as stated, counterclockwise.

I got it all fixed :P now to order my stuff from Ken, and start programming and learning the heli :P

Who sells 5S batts ? seams that every one in canada is out of stock :(

You could try the Kong Power packs from ReadyHeli.com
http://www.readyheli.com/Kong_Power_5s1p_18_5v_5000mAh_25C_Lipo_Battery_p/kp-5025-5.htm

They are a little heavy for 5S at 730g but looks like they will fit.

Or you can get some FP EVOLite 5S 5350 from Espritmodel.com (601g)

i like the kp but if your $ is tight i would use true rc in canada. Their web is www.truerc.net (http://www.truerc.net) i would use atleast 15c to 20c batteries and 4000 or 5000 mah. I dont know what blade size your running but if you using 550s then use 6s packs.
